And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.

And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.

And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.

And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.

And you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it.

These words the Lord spoke to all the multitude of you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, which he delivered unto me.

But you, after you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and saw the mountain burn, came to me, all the princes of the tribes and the elders, and you said:

And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness, because no man shall prevail by his own strength.

He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

He made darkness a covering round about him: dropping waters out of the clouds of the heavens.

For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my darkness.

For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.

And Tobias said: What manner of joy shall be to me, who sit in darkness, and see not the light of heaven?

But thou lookedst over their camp, and darkness wearied them.

And that was a day of darkness and danger, of tribulation and distress, and great fear upon the earth.

Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.

Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.

To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?

They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.

If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.

A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.
